COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONA malt forward traditional ale originally from Ireland, but with our own influence. This beer is complexly malty, but with definite hop bitterness and flavor of traditional U.K. hop varieties. Not the shy Irish reds from years past.

Tap. Pours a clear dark amber body with a one inch frothy off-white head that faded to a thin covering. The nose is pretty standard, some dry toasted and slightly husky maltiness with some light floral hops. Flavor follows pretty well in step, maybe a touch heavier on the hops than the average Irish Ale, but not by a whole lot. A touch more sweetness than I expect for the style, but pretty easy drinking. Lighter bodied with soft fizzy carbonation, short finish. Pretty decent, but not one to get excited about.
